Application filed December 30, 1915. SeriaINo. 69,507f

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, MAX LUPINSKI and GEORGE J. MEYER, citizens of the United .States, residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Barrel Calking and Renovating Machines,

1 of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in barrel calkmg and renovating machmes, a

companion application having been filed Decemb r 30, 1915, Serial No. 69,506.

The object of our invention is to provide means whereby barrels which have been previously used may be automatically advanced in intermittent or step by step movements and adjusted in connection with calk re- A -moving and recalking apparatus, operating successively in the intervals between said step by step movements to first remove the old pitch or calking material from each barrel and then recall: the barrel and coat the interior surface thereof with sterilizing material.

A further object of our invention is to provide means for automatically chilling the barrels after the injection of the fresh pitch or calking material and then reaming the bung holes to remove the surplus pitch, the renovated barrels being then delivered in a condition to be again used.

Further objects of our invention, ancillary to the objects above stated, are to provide controlling apparatus, whereby the barrels themselves may be utilized in part to control the calk removing and recalking apparatus so that the entire apparatus may be continuously operated with safety and without waste of heat or of sterilizing liquid and whereby also the barrels'may be treated and delivered successively as" rapidly as it is possible to spray the interior surfaces thereof with fresh material;

The machine illustrated includes a series of stations, each of which is provided with a barrel support. In the operation of the machine, one barrel is located upon each of these supports and all of the barrels are simultaneously lifted atintervals, each barrel being then advanced to the next station, whereupon all the barrels are simultaneously lowered upon the respective supports at such advanced stations. At the front end of the machine, an additional barrel is automatically supplied to the initial station, preparatory to each of the lifting movements above mentioned and at the conclusion of each barrel advancing movelment one barrel is delivered from the rear end of the machine. -At the initial station, in the intervals between the lifting and advancing movements, the barrel at that. station is rotated and adjusted in a position with the bung hole down, the barrel being also so adjusted that the bung hole will register with the operating devices at the initial station and at each subsequent station.

At one or more of the stations following the initial station, blow torches are located in positions for registry with the bung hole of the barrel. These torches are adapted to enter the barrel when it is lowered upon the supports at such station. The barrel automatically turns on a supplyof fuelto the torch after it has entered the bung hole, and when the barrel is lifted, the supply of fuel is nearly cut off, a pilot flame, however, being maintained to avoid the necessity of re-ignition. \Ve preferably provide a series of stations having these torches in order that the barrels may be rapidly advanced and heated successively until the interior temperature has been raised to a point where the pitch or calking material will melt and drain out at the bung hole. Each barrel is then advanced to a station provided with an injector nozzle which enters the bung hole when the barrel is lowered at that station, and a quantity of new pitch is thereupon injected into the barrel. The nozzle is a spray nozzle and the pitch is injected with suflicient force to reach all parts of the interior surface of the barrel. The supply of pitch to the nozzle is then cut off, preferably before the barrel is lifted from such'station and the pitch is allowed to drain out 'before' somewhat similar spray nozzle, or if desired,

an intermediate station may be provided for injecting'an air blast to blow out the smoke, which would otherwise be precipitated.

After passing the pitch chilling station,

the barrel reaches a station providedwith a reamer which cuts away any surplus pitch =A link 31 connects crank29 with the hangers 25 at 32. In Fig 2 crank 29 is rotating in The bamz Gamer.

The barrel carrier comprises a' set of side bars 1 provided with a series of barrel supporting members 2 each connected'with' one of these side bars. Each member 2 is paired with a similar member on the other bar, and the pairs of members are separated; from each other a distance equal to the distance between the stations. One set or pair of these barrel supporting members 2 is. employed for each station. The carrier is supported by a set of hangersafrom overhead levers 6 pivotally connected with. the frame 7 at 8. Cross rods 10 are;journ'aled-iii the. lower ends of the hangers!) and toothed segment brackets 11 are securedtotheSe cross. rods in a position to mesh with carrier racks-'- 9 and support the carrier, .as'bestsho'wnjini,

Fig. 2. Levers l2,.pivoted to the frame at 13, are provided with antifriction rollers ll at one end which engage underneath the cross rods 10, the opposite ends of the levers 10 being provided with counterweights 15, whereby the weight of the carrier is nearly balanced. Both ends of the carrier are supported by hanger bars 5, and the levers 6, to which the front and rear hanger bars are respectively connected, project inwardly toward the central portion of the machine and have their inner ends connected with a cross rod 18. A link 19 connects this cross rod with a crank 20 carried by an operating shaft 21. i

The shaft 21 and crank 20 are intermittingly rotated in half turn strokes, stopping with this crank in a raised position at the end of one stroke and in a downwardly projecting position at the end of the next stroke.

The downward movement of the crank departs will be again lowered to the level they occupy in the illustration.

, Another set of hanger bars 25 are pivotally connected with the frame at 26. Their lower ends are pivotally connected with bearing blocks 27 mounted to slide in suitablev'ertical guide ways 28 connected with the carrier. These hangers 25 are swung forwardly and backwardly upon the trans verse supporting pivot rod by a crank 29, connected with an operating shaft 30, said crank also moving in half revolution steps.

the direction indicated by the arrow.

Hanger 25 is therefore swinging to the left hand movement of crank 29 is completed.

Suitable clutches are employed, whereby zeach of the cranks is brought to rest upon completing eachihalf turn, crank 20 coming to -rest in a vertical, (upward or downward),

position and crank: 29 in a horizontal, (right or leftha-nd) position. These clutches are *hereinafter described'asa part of the actuating-mechanism jof-the machine V f .It' is'obviou's; from the foregoing descriptio'rifthat, the carrier will movealong a rec- The latter will respective stations.

tangular path. It will first be shifted lon tudinally to the left, then lifted, then shi 4 ed longitudinally to the ri ht, then depressed, and then again shifted longitudinally to the left to its initial position stops ping at the end of each stroke. When the carrier completes its movement to the left,-

its barrel supporting rests 2 are underneath the barrels at the respective stations. The upward movement of the carrier lifts the barrels above the operating devices at the The right hand movement then conveys each barrel to the next succeeding station and the subsequent downward movement deposits it at such station, the carrier continuing to move downwardly away from the barrel, to such an extent that when the next left hand movement takes place, it will be below the barrels.

T he operating stations.

The'initial station is located at the left hand end of the machine. This station is provided with a set of transverse rollers 35 and 36, which are adapted to support a barrel. The roller 36 is actuated by a belt (or sprocket chain) 37 and a pulley (or sprocket wheel) 38, whereby the barrel may be rotated. A spring supported rod 40 is located in a vertical position between the rollers. The upper end of this rod is capped by a tapered bung finder 41, the extremity of which is provided with an anti friction roller 42 adapted to travel along the surface of the barrel until it reaches the bung hole, Whereupon the spring 45 pushes the rod 40 upwardly, thereby forcing the tapered bung finder into the bung hole and stopping the rotation of the barrel. Suitable guides 46 are employed at each end of the barrel to prevent it from shifting laterally on the carrier. The rollers 35 and 36 are supported from the frame. The frame is also provided with a stop 48 which prevents the barrel from being dislodged from the rollers while being rotated. After the bung 41 enters the barrel, it remains at rest until lifted by the carrier as above explained.

In the construction shown, the four stations following the initial station are all alike. Each of these stations and all subsequent stations are provided with a fixed barrel rest 50 connected with the frame. At each of the four heating stations there is a heater which is'adapted to enter the barrel and rapidly raise the temperature therein. In Fig. 10 a blow torch heater is illustrated, while Fig. 14 illustrates an electric heater adapted to serve the same purpose. A pipe 51 extends upwardly through this rest 50 and is provided with a blow torch 52 projecting above the rest and adapted to enter the bung hole of the barrel. The blow torch is of ordinary construction and the combustible fluid is supplied through the pipe 51 in the 'script onis required. It is not essential-to our Invention whether the carrier, the actuatingjmechanism or the barrel is utilized to regulate the delivery of fuel to the blow torch, but we preferably provide the blow torch with a valve at 53 which automatically shuts off the fuel except for a small portion suflicient to maintain a pilot light until the weight of the barrel is applied to the valve operating handle 55, whereupon the valve opens and the fuel is supplied to the torch in suflicient quantity and under sufiicient pressure to project the flame forcibly to all parts of the interior of rapidly heating the interior surface.

Notwithstanding the fact that the interior surfaces of the barrels are rapidly heated at these stations, yet it requires a much longer -t1me interval to liquefy the pitch and permit ploying heating agencies at a plurality of successive stations, the temperature within the barrel will be additionally raised at each station and the pitch or calking material will be effectively removed from each barrel by the time it leaves the last station, such barrel then having been subjected tosuccessive heating operations.

The next station, 2'. e. the sixth station in the series illustrated in Fig. 2, is provided with a rest 50 similar to those employed at the preceding stations, and a vertical pipe 60 extends through this rest and is provided with a spray nozzle 61 at its upper end adapted to enter the bung hole of the barrel. A supply of pitch or other calking material in liquid form is forcibly injected into the barrel through the pipe 60 and delivered to all parts of the barrel by the spray nozzle the barrel, thereby barrel, and the surplus material runs out at I the bung hole around the nozzle. 7

After the barrel leaves the station at which the pitch is injected, it is delivered to a station having a pipe 63 extending vertically through the rest 50 at that station and adapted to enter the bung hole of the barrel to deliver a blast of air into the interior of the barrel for the purpose of blowing out the smoke and simultaneously permitting a further draining of the surplus pitch from the barrel. The air blast facilitates the draining operation. The tap hole 64 in the barrel head is preferably opened at this station to-allow the air and smoke to pass but freely. Thistap hole is referably kept closed at the other stations. he plug which closes it may be removed and replaced manually.

After the smoke has been blown out of the barrel, it is advanced to the next station, where a stream of water is in ected, to chill the interior surfaces and harden the pitch. The pipe 66, through which this water is delivered to the barrel, is similar to the pipe 63 but is connected with a source of water supply. Suitable valve mechanism will be employed at the air delivery stations and also at the water delivery station to the air (or water) when the barrel 13 not present. These valves may be operated in the same manner as those previously described in connection with the blow torches and detailed description is therefore omitted in this connection. W

After the pitch has been hardened, the barrel is advanced to the last station, A rotary shaft 67 projects upwardly through the rest 50 at this station and is provided with .a reamer atits upper end having a series of thin resilient scraping blades disposed circularly with upwardly converging extremities, and adapted to enter the bung hole of the barrel and scrape the accumulated pitch from the margins of the hole. They yield slightly upon striking irregularities in the wall of the bung hole. Shaft 67 is tubular and water can thus be ill-a jected during a reaming 0 eration. It is supported by counterweight 2 and has sliding key connection with beveled gear wheel 69, the counterweight supplying suflic ent pressure to make the reamer blades effective. Shaft 67 is driven by a transverse shaft 68 and beveled gearing 69. When the barrel is lifted from this station, it is delivered to an inclined chute 70 along which it rolls to any suitable point of delivery.

The pitch delivering apparatus.

A supply of pitch is stored in a reservoir 75 above a heater 7 6, whereby the pitch is kept hot. Within the reservoir 75 is a delivery tank 78 having a check valve 79 in its bottom'portion, whereby pitch may enter the tank 78 from the reservoir by gravity, the tank 78 being wholly or partially submerged. The pipe 60 leads outwardly from the bottom portion of tank 78 and then upwardly to the nozzle 61 as above explained. To forcibly discharge the pitch through the pipe 60 to the higher level at which nozzle 61 is located, pressure is applied to the pitch within tank 78, by admitting compressed air to the upper portion of said tank through simultaneously or substantially so.

through this pipe is controlled by two valves 82 and 83 respectively. The valve 82 is opened automatically by each barrel as it station. The other valve 83 is opened perived directly from the operating mechanism. The barrel'operated valve 82 is employed to prevent delivery of pitch ifv for any reason a barrel should not be delivered to this station during the downward or barrel depositing movement of the carrier. It will be observed that valve 82 is provided with anupwardly projecting stem 84:. During the downward movement of a barrel into position at the pitch receiving station, the barrel strikes the free, end of the lever 86 which is pivoted to the frame at 87 and is adapted to bear upon the valve stem 8% at an intermediate point. The weight of the barrel pushes the stem downwardly, thus opening the valve at 82. q

The valve 83 is operated at stated periods from the master wheel 90 through a cam 91, lever 92, link '93, elbow crank 94:, connecting rod 95, slide 96, swinging lever 97 and valve stem 98, the latter being located in the path moves into position at the pitch injecting of said swinging lever. The slide 96 carries a projection 99, having a beveled face adapted, when the slide is moved to the right in Fig. 6, to engage and push the swinging lever 97 upwardly, thereby lifting the'valve stem and opening the valve 83. This movement takes place simultaneously with the downward movement of the carrier heretofore described. Therefore if a barrel is deposited by a carrier at the pitch receiving station, the valves 82 and 83 will be opened The valve 82 will remain open while the barrel is in position at such station, butvalve 83 will close as soon as cam 91 moves out of engagement with lever 92. Both of the valves 82 and 83 are spring actuated and move to closing position as soon as the pressure exerted by the valve opening mechanism is relieved.

When cam 91 releases the lever 92, a spring 100 actuates slide 96 in the opposite direction (to the left in Fig. 6), thereby opening a valve 103 in a branch pipe 104 and permitting the compressed air to exhaust from tank 78. This branch pipe 104 preferably extends downwardly into reservoir 75 so that if any pitch should be carried with the exhausting air, it will merely be blown back into the reservoir 75. 'Said reservoir is, however, open to the exterior so that no pressure will be developed therein.

It will of course be understood that the pitch enters tank 78 from the reservoir 75 past check valve 79 during the intervals when valve 103 is open. All ofthese valves 82, 83 and 103 are .self closing. They may be of -any ordinary type and do not require to be described particularly.

The main actuating mechanism.

wheel 90. Masterwheel 901s provided with a cam groove 140, This groove is circular inform, except for a short distance on one side where it is offset outwardly between the points 141 and 142. This -cam'groove controls the movementof the crank 20, whereby the crank shaft 21' isintermittingly coupled to, and uncoupled from, gear'wheel 111 by means of a spring actuated coupling pin 130. The pin 130 is shifted into coupling position by spring 131 and it is retracted by forked shifting lever 132 connected with a rocking sleeve shaft 133. Shaft 133 has an arm 156 upon which a roller 155 is mounted and loosely engaged in cam groove 140. Therefore when the rotation of the master wheel 90 brings the portion 141 of the cam groove into registry with roller 155, the arm 156 will be swung downwardly, thereby actuating clutch setting lever 132 to a position where a wing 136 carried by its lower fork arm will shift coupling pin 130 out of coupling position when the rotation of the wheel 111 and shaft 21 brings pin 130 into engagement with the angular face of said wing.

This retraction of the pin will occur when the crank is in a downwardly projecting position. Subsequently, the master wheel 90 brings the portion 142 of its cam groove into registry with roller 155, and lever 156 will then be pushed upwardly and will swing the clutch shifting lever 132 downwardly and allow pin 130 to rengage wheel 111. But the wing 136 on the upper fork arm of lever 132 will then be in the path of the pin and will retract it when the pin returns to its raised position upon completing its second half turn movement.. I

The motion of crank 29 'is similarly controlled by means of cam groove 120 also a formed in the side face of the master wheel 90. This cam groove is similarly offset between the points 121 and 122. A spring actuated coupling pin 145 is utilized to connect gear wheel 150 with shaft 30. Gear wheel 150 is continuously driven from the main actuating shaft 106 through a pinion Shifting lever 152 moves downwardly when the portion 121 of the cam groove 120 comes into registry with roller 135 carried by the arm 134 on sleeve shaft 157, said roller 135,

sleeve shaft being also"rigidly connected with forked shifting lever 152. Couplin pin. 145 isin engagement in the illustrate position. It Wlll' be retracted when it reaches wing 136 on the upper fork arm, which will then be depressed. When the rotation of master wheel 90 brings the porti n 122 of the cam groove into registry with shifting lever 152 will be actuated to again permit pin 145 to engage, the lower arm of lever 152 being then in a position for withdrawal of coupling pin 145 at the end of the next half turn movement.

It will be observed that sleeve 133 is supported to oscillate upon rock shaft 157. It

will also be observed that arm 156 projects at a different angle from the axis of shaft 133 thanrthat at which arm 134 extends. 1

he arrangement is such that arm 134 will be actuated by the masterwheel 90 in both directions (downwardly and upwardly) before the master wheel actuates arm 156. Therefore coupling pin 130 will first be adjusted in coupling position, crank arm 20 rotated a one-half turn, and said coupling pin withdrawn before coupling pin 145 moves to coupling position. This coupling pin in turn will be withdrawn upon completion of a half turn movement of crank 29 and before coupling pin 130 again moves into coupling position for a further half turn of crank 30. But the shifting of the levers precedes the coupling movement of the pin, since the gear wheels have sockets 138 to receive the coupling pins and one of these must be brought into registry with the pin which it receives before the latter can move to coupling position. This arrangement therefore provides for the step by step movement of the carrier in a cycle of four strokes and along a rectangular path as heretofore explained in describing the carrier.

To facilitate feeding barrels to the initial station. rollers 35 and 36, we employ an oscillating shaft 160, which has fixed thereto a set of lifting arms 161. The barrels are rolled upon a tilting frame 162. When this is tilted to the position shown in Fig. 2, the barrel rolls upon the lifting arms. The shaft 160 is oscillated at intervals corresponding with and immediately following the rearward movement of the carrier to lift the engaged barrel and deposit it upon rollers 35-36. Shaft 160 is thus actuated from gear wheel 90 through crank 165, connecting rod 166, and a crank 167 fixed on shaft 160.
